Taking care of your skin is in my opinion very essential, cause this is the base for a great makeup look. Part of this routine should be a good facial scrub. Of course the stores are full with products, and every single one of them claims to be a bottled miracle, according to the manufacturers. I used to use the Neutrogena Visibly Clear scrub, but since there is another version of this product available I thought I compare the two. So let the battle begin:)

Scrubing is very important, because it helps you to get rid off the dead skin, but I don't think it's a good idea to do it every day. I know that most products recommend it, and the soft skin you get is really tempting, but trust me, I did it years ago, and still suffer from it from time to time. I think doing it once or twice every week is totally enough. The point is to do it on a regular base, and not just in a panic style when you realize you only have days before the big event and then torture your skin every day with scrubing. A good scrub is not to harsh and has a not to runny consistency, so I can feel that it is really working on my skin. Something like that was in my head when I bought the Visibly Clear scrub.

Let take a look at the packaging, which I think is well done. It's an upside down squeeze tube, which is good, cause you can get out even the last drop of product. The lid has a good closure, and the opening where the product comes out is small enough, so you can't squeeze out a ton of cream at once. The top of the tube is colored, while the bottom part is see through. I like it, cause this way I can see how much product I got, and don't have to play a guessing game is it enough for 6 or just 2 uses. The old and the new don't show any difference, they both have the same style of packaging, only the color has been changed.

Let's go on with the product itself. The old Visibly Clear was a thick greenish white cream with little green parts in it, and had a little chemical, laboratory kind of smell. It wasn't really bothering me, but I wasn't either a fan of it. The new pink version is totally different. It's a not so thick, pink cream with tiny pink parts in it. The smell has also changed to a nice, not to sweet, fruity one, which I definetly like. As I said the scrubbing parts of the cream are million times smaller then the greens were, and this is why I really like it. It's not so harsh on my skin, but I still can feel how the product is working. You simply don't have the feeling, that your torturing your skin. Definetly a win for the pink one.

I mentioned it above that the consistency also changed, and here is the proof for it. I squeezed out some of the old, and some of the new one. While the old version is really thick and stays in place, the new one already started to dissolve a bit. Another win for the pink side.

All in all I have to say the new version is better. It has a better consistency, it feels better when I'm using it, and even the smell is better. That doesn't means that the old one is crap, I just simply prefer the pink one. By the way, since I got it, I use the old one as a body scrub cause it's great for that purpose:D
